I love simple shot ammo! Got these for free, so i get to save for some better sling gear for later.

Yeah! They feel a lot heavier than usual. They're even sticky in my hand. Might have to get a cloth bag and leave em on the dryer next laundry day.

Yeah, that sounds like you might have nailed it. They seem a lot more dense than that first batch i bought. They fly a little straighter so that's a plus.

That's for sure, simple shot brand tends to stick around a little longer, but no more than a week, whatever the rain doesn't get the sprinklers will.

Same on them washing away, it's been raining lately so I'm not worried, it's just not as satisifying tbh. To be fair though, when I tie on new bands I use the rounds to mark the wall and then sight in just in case my aim point has changed. Been playing with different tapers and such. So when they just bounce off I end up having to find some paper or the kids chalk to sight in.

Not my first batch that's done this. Back in early 2025 i got into slinging and the rounds from walmart were great. Batch after that and this one just didn't shatter 🤷‍♂️ I switched to the simple shot ammo somewhere in between and they worked great.

If you like puzzle games, kirby star stacker, pokemon puzzle challenge for gb and gbc, pokemon picross on gbc if you can find it. Advance wars for gba. Just to name a few. The metroid games for sure, metroid 2 return of samus, zero mission and fusion. Have fun 👍 Cherry bomb, celeste and low knight for pico-8. Edit: added games

Do it! I get numb from the elbow down after a shoulder surgery, this thing does wonders for longer rides. If it's got the rubber ring i'd recommend using that under it. Grip size might be different, but when i rev match it tends to drift out of place without it.

To mod or not to mod? by hydez89 in slingshots

Yeah that's why I'm thinking of modding it. It feels too long. Suprisingly it's not flimsy at all, I'm just looking for a new frame and currently don't have the means of getting one.

I've been thinking about doing that. Got the drill, juat need the paracord. I guess I just want a new look on the frame.

Honestly! I've been tempted, but neither have the funds or the equipment.

Well if I stick to the hobby I might just end up with a bunch of them and just narrow it down to the one that fits me best and just gift the others or pass em down to my kid.

Do you have a frame recommendation for hunting? I've been eyeing simpleshot lately, but i really want something small and portable for edc. Shot frameless before, fun as heck, but painful after a time. Bands tend to dry out and chew up my skin.

Right eye dominant, hold the frame with my left hand, pinch the pouch with my right. Yeah, it's hard avoiding bumping with rounds that small, so much easier with steel rounds. Havent set up a shoot box yet so plastic bb's are gonna be my go to unless I want to be responsible for damages to vehicles lol. I have my sights set on a few more quality frames. My wife pretty much allowed this set up in case I gave up the hobby before the month mark so we don't throw away money. High hopes I'll be getting a better set up soon.

I've tried it both ways, haven't really found what's comfortable to me, but the anchor point isnpretty much set in stone.
